This Disgusting Body

This body that I'm in disgusts me so much I can't stand the flab I carry I hate that my thighs touch The stretch marks that spread out on my tummy are purple reminders of how ugly I am Any time I'm naked I'm repulsed by the sight of them The acne on my skin just makes me sick I can't put anything on my skin without breaking out and I hate it The double chin that seems to get bigger every time I shove food in my face Reminds me that I'm a fat ass who takes up too much space The number on the scale reads 179 I should feel proud yet I want to hide All I hear in my head is "LOSE MORE WEIGHT!" I pretend that I'm okay but inside I'm full of self hate My boobs are the worst they're sacks of disappointment I've never nursed a child yet they're saggy as can be My back fat is so apparent I want to wear the biggest sweater I can find so no one knows about it other than me The wrinkles around my eyes are proof that I'm getting older now The spider veins that are beginning to show tell me I'm washed up Every time I look in the mirror apart of me dies a little more I just want to be beautiful is that too much to ask for
